Exploring Cooking & Science
There’s chemistry involved every time we cook, and our ultimate goal is to Student-Proof our recipes so no one has to do any guesswork. All of our recipes include supplemental information about the science of what you’re trying to make, explained in a way anyone could understand.
Roasted Beet & Goat Cheese Gnocchi
With the coming of the new year, it’s time to lean into our seasonal winter ingredients. This Roasted Beet & Goat Cheese Gnocchi dish celebrates the best of winter fare, while adding brightness with pistachios, lemon zest, and rosemary. These za’atar-roasted beets bring the perfect balance to this meal, perfect either for an impressive date night or special occasion. Done in only 45 minutes, this recipe packs a punch without being too much of a hassle or mess.
Hazelnut Hot Chocolate
The holidays are the perfect time to celebrate all the seasonal nuts we take for granted throughout the year. Our Hazelnut Hot Chocolate does just that to warm you all the way through and bring you some of that special hazelnut taste you didn't know you've been missing. If you're looking for a change from classic peppermint, give this a try and make your morning special!
Hazelnut Simple Syrup
This Toasted Hazelnut Simple Syrup is the perfect addition to spice up your coffee routine and is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Simple syrups are a great way to get a flavour injection into the recipe of your choice, whether that’s in the form of a cozy hot chocolate, sexy cocktail, or nutty sponge-cake.
Pistachio Simple Syrup
This pistachio simple syrup was inspired by my insatiable craving for pistachios and my need to have them in coffee form. The toasted pistachio flavour comes through the syrup to help you sate the pistachio lust you might have for anything from coffee to sponge cakes to ice creams.
Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies
The perfect combo of moist brownies and melted peanut butter. We even made sure it's inclusive by giving you a vegan option(spoiler alert, the chemistry of eggs is replaceable!). These are some of my favourite brownies I've ever had OR made, and the peanut butter helps make them light enough for spring. Warning: you may have difficulty putting them down.
